IT Support for Engineering Firms

Serious computing for serious design work

Engineering IT fails differently. It's not just email and spreadsheets — it's CAD assemblies that bring ordinary machines to their knees, simulation runs that tie up hardware for hours, and design files that represent years of billable expertise. Generic IT support treats an engineering workstation like an office PC. We don't.

Pebble IT supports engineering firms across Hertfordshire, Essex and London — mechanical, civil, electrical and product design practices alike.

Workstations and software that keep up with your engineers

We specify, build and maintain the high-performance workstations that CAD, CAM and simulation tools demand, and we manage the licensing behind them — including the network licence servers that can silently idle a whole design office when they misbehave. Project storage is engineered for large files: fast to open, properly structured, and backed by tested backup and recovery with your project deadlines in mind.

Office and production, connected but separated

Many engineering businesses run a design office on one side and workshop or production systems on the other. We support the whole environment and — critically — segment it properly, so a problem or infection on one side can't cross to the other. Machine controllers running older software get isolated and protected rather than left exposed or expensively replaced.

Your IP is the business — we protect it accordingly

Drawings, models and calculations are the firm's real assets, and they're exactly what industrial espionage and ransomware go after. Access controls, encryption, secure sharing with clients and manufacturing partners, and monitoring through our cyber security service keep them protected. We're Cyber Essentials Plus certified and take firms through Cyber Essentials certification — a requirement on a growing share of engineering tenders, especially anything touching defence, rail or utilities supply chains.

Speak to engineers about engineering IT

Unlimited remote helpdesk as standard; on-site work quoted and agreed upfront. Book a call and we'll review your workstations, storage and security — and tell you honestly what needs upgrading and what doesn't.
